MAGENTA to take part and co-sponsor in the Conference on Modern Concepts and New Materials for Thermo-Electricity. This is an advanced 5-days conference with 5-6 tutorial lectures given by the experts in the field: interested candidates may wish to learn that online application will be enabled at a later stage. The purpose of this Conference is [...]
We invite applications from recent PhD’s and experienced engineers with electrochemistry or physical chemistry background to investigate various aspects of thermo-electrochemical (liquid) cell development. The position is part of a European research project MAGENTA to develop novel thermo-electrochemical technology based on ionic-liquid based ferrofluids* for waste-heat recovery applications. Please see article here
ICMF (15th edition) will take place at Sorbonne University in Paris, July 8-12, 2019, co-chaired by Professor Régine Perzynski (MAGENTA partner CNRS). Several members of MAGENTA will be there to present our latest results from the project. http://premc.org/conferences/icmf-magnetic-fluids
MAGENTA (CEA) will be at the Fête de la Science organized by Ile de Science-Paris Saclay on October 12-13-14, 2018. (www.iledescience.org/fete_de_la_science.html) Come and enjoy fun experiments on ‘thermoelectricty,’ ‘ferrofluids,’ ‘magnetism’ and much more. A detailed program of the event will be available in due time on the Ile de Science website.
Confirmed! MAGENTA will co-host “Conference on Modern Concepts and New Materials for Thermoelectricity” at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (in Trieste, Italy in 2019. This is a 5-day conference dedicated to bringing together experts in fundamentals of thermoelectricity as well as those of materials science and applications. The official announcement will follow [...]
The Magenta consortium is delighted to announce the first open access journals have been published by members of the consortium. The team at HES-SO have published: Thermoelectric Generators Based on Ionic Liquids and The team at CEA and CNRS have published: Thermoelectricity and Thermodiffusion in Magnetic Nanofluids: Entropic Analysis
The first measurements of thermodiffusion on the ferrofluids dispersed in the new ionic liquids for thermoelectric applications have been recorded. The determined Soret coefficients ST, which quantify the gradient of concentration induced by a gradient of temperature, are positive. The diffusion coefficient of the magnetic nanoparticles scales with the viscosity of the ionic liquids.
MAGENTA’s Next Steering Committee Meeting will take place at Frentani Convention Centre in Rome on July 5th & 6th. The meeting will coincide with The 25th International Symposium on Metastable, Amorphous and Nanostructured Materials (ISMANAM 2018: http://ismanam2018.ism.cnr.it/). The latest findings from MAGENTA will be presented in the session “Nanomaterials for renewable energy and energy efficiency” [...]
The next Consortium meeting will be held in Athens, Greece on January 29-30 2018.
The fourth international conference on Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology (4th 3NANO - former French-Brazilian meeting on Nanoscience Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology) was organized in Paris, December 2017 from 10 to 14th, in the prestigious Pierre & Marie Curie University (UPMC) Campus. The conference was chaired by Professor Régine Perzynski of CNRS. Several invited and contributed presentations were [...]
